Ice Demons were sentienthumanoids with ice-like traits, possessing bodies that appeared similar to white crystal, as well as resistance to frigid temperatures. They had long, curved horns and icicle-like, sharp teeth. Their eyes were black with white centers, and their feet ended in sharp spikes.

At least one member of the species, the sorcerer known as Stagorr, lived on the forest moon of Endor. Several years before 3 ABY, Stagorr fought in a duel with the EwokshamanLogray and was banished to the inside of Ice Mountain. The Ice Demon hatched a scheme to lure Logray back to free him, but it backfired when Wicket W. Warrick used fire magic to melt some ice, douse the Ice Demon in water, and trap him when it refroze.

Ice Demons were a sentientspecies with an ice-like appearance. Their bodies were humanoid[3] with musculature similar to other such species.[5] They stood about two meters tall,[2] and each of their hands had five digits, while each foot came to a single, sharp point. Their eyes were black with white centers,[3] and their noses were pointed and hooked.[1] Each Ice Demon had a large mouth filled with sharp, icicle-like teeth,[3] more on the bottom than on the top,[6] and a white tongue.[7] Their heads were crowned by two curved horns that pointed upward.[3]

Their ice-like traits set them apart from other humanoids. Ice Demons were white and icy, glistening blue in certain lighting conditions. The effect was so pronounced that icicles seemed to grow from their bodies.[3] Their frosty natures made them resistant to severe cold.[7]

The Ice Demon could not touch Logray's staff, the instrument that had banished him, so he put a hex on Warrick that forced the Ewok to obey his commands.[6] As expected, Logray appeared at Ice Mountain to rescue his younger tribemate.[11] Stagorr cloistered himself in his lair and sent his proxy, Warrick, to duel his old enemy. Nevertheless, Logray managed to counter Stagorr's every spell.[12] Frustrated, the sorcerer finally showed himself, threatening to kill Warrick if Logray did not relinquish the staff. Logray did so.[5] The Ice Demon scoffed as Warrick attacked with a simple, fire-based magic trick, but the fire melted some of the Ice Mountain interior and caused liquid water to fall on Stagorr's body.[13] As it refroze, he lost the ability to move.[14]

The comic book shows that Stagorr has the ability to freeze objects he touches. It is unclear whether this is a manifestation of his magic or a trait of all Ice Demons.[10] Whatever the case, the trick also makes Stagorr vulnerable to liquid water. Assuming this is a species-wide ability, dousing an Ice Demon with water seems fatal, as the liquid freezes around the body and entombs the being inside.[13]

Stagorr's origins on Endor are not documented in existing sources. The book Geonosis and the Outer Rim Worlds, p. 40, implies that only Ewoks and Yuzzums are native to the Forest Moon of Endor. The article "Castaways of Endor" adds only Duloks to this list and implies that all other sentients on Endor have been introduced from other worlds. These sources explain that such arrivals were relatively common thanks to the a massive gravity shadow and a shield of space debris that crashed ships on the moon.[17] Nevertheless, Ice Demons cannot be ruled out as a native Endorian species from current sources.

↑Star Wars: Behind the Magic places the Star Wars: Ewoks animated television series in 3.5 ABY but makes no mention of the Ewoks comic book series. Nevertheless, as the character designs in the comic book are identical to those of the the first season of the Ewoks television show, the comic book stories must take place around the same time as the animated cartoon.
